CfA, a government watchdog group, opposes Puzder’s nomination and has filed motions
to unseal the entire record in the case. Puzder’s confirmation hearing is scheduled
for Feb. 16.

“The clerk for the St. Louis courts said that after Puzder was nominated she’d compiled
a packet of information to release to the public,” Stevens said. “However, when we
tried to get the documents they weren’t provided, and members of the press weren’t
provided copies either, so while they’re saying the documents were publicly available
it seems they actually weren’t.”

Stevens said the judge provided the packet Feb. 14. The documents contain allegations
that Puzder “physically assaulted his then-wife on more than one occasion,” he said,
and include new and unreported information. The organization is still reviewing the
records.

Judge Douglas Beach of the St. Louis County Circuit Court directed attorneys on both
sides to submit a proposed order by 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 15.

A proposed order essentially means attorneys will submit draft opinions supporting
their position for the judge to adopt and sign off on. They aren’t uncommon and are
requested by judges for different reasons, including expediency. The request by Beach
indicates that he may want to decide whether or not to unseal the entire record Feb.
15, before Puzder’s hearing.

CfA “asked the judge to unseal all remaining records so that the Senate and the American
people are able to make an informed decision as to whether Mr. Puzder is fit to serve,”
Stevens said. “We hope that the sum total of this information is made available in
the next 48 hours.”
